Could handshake issues (I don't have a switcher) be causing the fact that my tv reverts the just scan setting back to 16:9, causing image overscan? Happens almost every time I turn on my ps4 pro since connecting the vr box and/or when switching from tv to vr.

I just hooked up my PSVR with the new box and was losing sound when I switched inputs. I just unplug and replug the hdmi cables from all my other inputs as well as the PSVR and it seems to have fixed it. Maybe just try that.

I see, well I recently moved my tv and switched hdmi ports, and I got weird static on the screen and odd noise from the speakers for a few seconds at console bootup :/ Seems to have gone away though after a week or two. TV is so old that it can't receive firmware updates online. It's one of the very first good Samsung 1080p screens back from like Modern Warfare 1 days lol. Or older actually.

I use the standard cables, I don't think they're longer than 1.5m.

You mean this fixed it permanently? From one replugging? Can't hurt to try! My problem doesn't seem to happen if I start the tv before the ps4, but can't be sure.

Set walk and strafe with analog sticks and most of your problems will disappear. I had same problems of sickness and changing walking method eliminated it completely. Now I'm addicted to time attack mode XD

I felt like tinkering with the headset a little bit, so I hooked it up to a raspberry pi 3 which has retropie on it.

The audio actually works and goes through the earbuds, and the video looks quite nice. Can you guess the big problem with it? Well, the damn thing starts drifting within minutes of playing anything. Unless you are using a swivel chair, it's unplayable within 10 minutes because the screen is so far to the left.

I can't believe that they haven't released a new switcher for the original PSVR headset that handles HDR. Unexcusable with the PS4 Pro out now. I really can't be bothered with the PSVR anymore with this and the bad tracking (I even bought a HDMI switch but never bothered to install it). My money goes into the Oculus headset.

Then you just change the hdmi source on the box and TV and you are good to go.

Be sure to fully turn the ps4 off before switching. That alone is enough on mine but a friend has one too and he has to turn his TV off too when switching back to the hdr source otherwise he gets handshake issues when hdr is active.

I'm waiting for the Wipeout patch to download atm. I can't wait to finally try this! I've read nothing but good things.

Hopefully this makes enough of a splash that other companies will start converting their old games into VR games like Skyrim. That seems like the only economically feasible way for developers to create major VR games with how small the userbase is.

Early impressions of Wipeout - it's fucking awesome. I guess if you don't like the way Wipeout plays, this probably won't change your mind. But if you like it even a little bit (I'm no huge racing fan) you will probably love this in VR.

I don't have any motion sickness issues ever, but I am locking the camera to the cockpit instead of the pilot just because it seems to play better that way so far. All other comfort stuff is turned off.

Yeah Wipeout is insanely great. Perhaps my favorite VR title right now (or at least in my top 3). Perhaps a lot of it is nostalgia, because I’ve loved the series since the first game on PSX - but damn did they nail it. The graphics are some of the best I’ve seen in VR and the sense of speed and place is spot on.

Another I just recently tried is Blasters of the Universe. I feel like this game is a bit under the radar. It’s contending with Wipeout for all of my playtime right now. It’s a stationary 180 degree shooter (2 moves) but really requires you to move in your space a lot - crouching, stretching, and side stepping to avoid incoming fire. Your hit box is your head and the projectiles come at a steady, medium pace in bullet hell style arrangements for you to try to dodge completely or to steer your head through. The tracking is insanely good and the graphics and Tron mixed with Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic is really compelling. On top of all of that there’s a cool weapon system where you build your gun and support weapons by mix and matching components.

I thought at first too, then I got my hands on a Google Cardboard and saw the potential. Some time later I played on PSVR and the potential I saw was completely realized. Now I'm on my way to opening up my own VR Arcade Center soon.

What? I went to a Vrcade centre here in London a year or two ago. It was fun, but all I could think about was how - as the technology gets cheaper and cheaper - the viability of it as a businesses becomes weaker and weaker.

Is it going to be a pop-up place or are you planning for it to be long term?

That is likely true of most developed countries, then again, there is stuff that's meant for businesses like higher-end headsets, platforms that allow for walking, hydraulic seats for racing/flying experiences, etc.

But in Mexico at least you can even open a game room with 20 or 30 Xbox One consoles and TVs and it will do extremely well.

I keep finding myself coming back to Wipeout. I figure I'll do a few races and the next thing I know, I've played for an hour and a half. I'm not really into racing games usually, but this game is fun.

I've given up on the HDMI switcher, just doesn't seem to work for me with VR, but does for everything else.

Finally played Knockout League and was not disappointed. My only complaint was it doesn't seem to like different punches. No point in doing hooks, etc unless I'm just doing something wrong.

Had my gf play, which actually caused me to worry. Neighbors probably thought I was killing her or something, she was very LOUD playing it, and was completely exhausted after having knocked the first guy down twice. Got so into it that she wandered out of the play area, lol.

I only got to the chick, and was doing well though i can't seem to block or dodge her barrage of punches or properly counterattack by hitting her circle.

I did get a good bit of exercise from it, and loved it.

I didn't get a chance to try Wipe out, will probably try it after work today.

I just bought a HDMI extension cable and it has always worked perfectly. You plug the extension cable into the back of the PS4 and then you switch between HDR and VR gaming by just plugging those HDMI cables into the female end of the extension.

There's nothing that can mechanically go wrong that way and the cable was like $7 on Amazon.
